WAITANGURU.

Own Correspondent,

The weather of late has been some what changeable, but for the most part mild and warm, and 'save... for an occasional frost ha 3 been quite phenomenal. Frosts at this time have had a very disastrous effect, as has been evidenced here in many places. The growth of the grass has been hampsred considerably by "Jack"; but the most serious aspect can be observed in the gardens, where vegetables of all types have been laid low by his ravuges; their vigorous rudimentary growth being uttterly destroyed. The cheerful countenance of the gardener has been masked with a look of utter disgust and foriorn hope. The landscape, however, is looking fres'", and with its mantle of luxurious gras3 presents to the eye an admirable picture. Stock of p l ' kinds appear in good condition, ,dairy cattle- are milking well, k'v The milking season is in full swing, end the farmers find their tim 9 fully occupied by the demanded attentions of tne cows. The cream supply to the local factory is daily increasing, eclipsing considerably last year's supply at this time. The qualitv of the cream spsaks well of the enterprise that is being displayed by ths farmers, and demonstrates luridly that they have confronted the crisis that demands their faithful attention to tha part comprising their duty; and exemplifying their recognition of the absolute neccessity of true cooperation. The prospsct3 at present appear very bright for a euccessful season.

At a meeting of the Progressive Association held recently, the question regarding the advisability of applying for a full-time s*hool was referred to. The question, it wai explained, was of vital importance, consequent of the increasing number of children at the school. Mr S. Cranston moved the proposal that a petition for a full-time school be drawn up, signed by tha parents, and forwarded to the proper quarter for sanction. Mr A. Andreaen seconded the proposal. The petition, I believe, has been forwarded, and the settlers are waiting a reply. This movement marks another stage of advancement, and adds further importance to this district's credit. The number of children here warrant the appointment of a permanent teacher; for it is only the matter of a very short time when the number will be considerably augmented. Tha wisdom of thi=J action is very obvious, and redounds to the credit of the parents, who, by so doing, are endeavouring to make available for the ! r children all possible advantage to gain the fullest education procurable. On? of our ministers of the Gospel, the Rev. H. J. Ralph, has cast bachelorhood into oblivion, and recently joined the ranks of the benedicts. The church people here, in t ordrr. to shower upon him and his bride their exuberant congratulations are organising a social of welcome to take place in the local hall on the evening of December 2nd. All interested in the movement are welcome that evening, in order that a thorough representative gathering may be the result, and every effort made to make the occasion permeate with pleasantness, and to manifest in tha fullest and sincerest way our tokens of good-fellowship towards Mr and Mr 3 Ralph in their new sphere of life.
